Magic Layer Brownie Bars

4.63 from 8 votes

Magic Layer Brownie Bars, like the Seven Layer Bars you might remember from your childhood, only better. Instead of a graham cracker cookie base, these bars start with a rich chocolate brownie, and layers of toasted coconut, chocolate chips, butterscotch chips and sweetened condensed milk. It’s the ultimate decadent dessert!

Ingredients

Brownies

1½ cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
½ cup salted butter 1 stick
1 cup granulated sugar
2 large egg
1 large egg yolk
1 cup all-purpose flour
½ teaspoon vanilla

Layers

1 cup chocolate chips
1 cup butterscotch chips
1 cup shredded coconut
1 can sweetened condensed milk

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
Place butter and chocolate chips in a large, microwaveable mixing bowl. Microwave on high for 30 seconds. Stir, and continue microwaving and stirring in 30 second intervals until chocolate is melted.
Beat in sugar, then vanilla and eggs, until well combined.
Stir in flour until just combined.
Pour into a well greased 11x7 inch or 13x9 inch baking dish. Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes.
Remove from the oven (brownies will jiggle a little but be done on top) and sprinkle on chocolate and butterscotch chips, then shredded coconut. Pour sweetened condensed milk evenly over the top. Spread gently to make sure it is evenly distributed.
Bake for an additional 25 minutes.
Cool completely before cutting.

Notes

**NOTE - if you use an 11x7” pan like I did, you only need about ¾ cup of each of the chips and the coconut. I also only used about ¾ of the can of sweetened condensed milk. For a 13x9” pan of brownie bars, use the full amounts as listed in the ingredients.
